Wish That
Sometime toward the beginning of this year, my roommate was listening to a teaching (that’s the over-simplification of what it was) and the speaker was using the example of certain types of cicadas that come out every 17 years and then asked the listeners what they were doing 17 years ago since the world looks…

A Whole Lifetime (A Letter to my Dad)
*** I would apologize that I have been MIA after promising to post once a week, but in my defense, I did start writing a story again! Also, I am currently on our annual “besties trip” and have had some weird life things happen that I will not be visiting during this post. However, maybe…

It’s Not What I Want…
I have a confession… I lied. Not to you guys, specifically, but I need to air out my correction more publicly. Last week while my mom and I were cleaning a house, the client and his wife were talking to us and he was telling me of this vision he had for unmarried people in…

The Practice of Slowing
One of the things the Lord has been teaching me this year is the importance of Sabbath in my life. My Sabbaths usually consist of turning off my phone, putting it in the downstairs bedroom Friday night after church, making banana bread every other week (when I have the ripe bananas from a client-friend), going…

What AI Taught Me About Myself

Quirks: Everybody’s Got Them
This weekend I am helping with my church’s school play. I’ve helped with them in the past, but this year I am more emotionally involved and therefore need an outlet. (Good thing I already have this blog 😉 ) I was thinking about the play tonight while trying to wind down and instead my brain…

“For Purple Mountains Majesty…”
Last weekend, I had the honor of going to my favorite area of Colorado for the 5th time. This was my third time going for a women’s conference, and it seems as though every time I go for a conference, I fall more in love with the area. Obviously, I love visiting, but something about…

Surprise Friendships
“Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful friend who can find?” Proverbs 20:6, ESV (emphasis and word change are mine) I haven’t talked about it in a while, so I’ll reset my life story briefly: my dad was in the Army from 8 months before I was born until well after…

Same… But Different
I’ve been putting off writing this post for a number of reasons. The chief reason is that I really am trying to keep this blog from becoming a “grief and loss” blog. The secondary reason is that I have been feeling a big loss and trying to convince myself it’s silly to still have these…
My Social Media-less Life
